Abstract: NAS signaling between a UE and a server is enhanced by performing one of: sending a registration complete message to the server using existing NAS signaling and without starting a release timer in response to receiving an RC_ID deletion IE in a registration accept message; and not sending the registration complete message to the server in response to receiving the RC_ID deletion IE in the registration accept message. A registration procedure is reinstated based on a stored RC_ID.

Abstract: A method for selecting a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) in a wireless communication system by a User Equipment (UE), the method includes detecting, by the UE, that the UE is operating in an interworking mode, triggering, by the UE, a manual scan in the interworking mode for acquiring a list of PLMNs in the wireless communication system, and causing, by the UE, a display to output the list of PLMNs in response to the triggering.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may ascertain an incapability of the network to process a pending uplink signal based on a registration acceptance message from the network. For instance, a registration acceptance message from the network, that may indicate the network is not capable of processing the pending uplink signal service. Accordingly, upon ascertaining the incapability of the network to process the pending uplink signal, the UE may release a connection (e.g., a N1 Non-Access Stratum (NAS) signaling connection) between the UE and the network, where the connection is based on camping of the UE at a cell corresponding to the radio access network (RAN) (e.g., the NG-RAN) of the network. Alternatively, the UE may initiate one of an implementation dependent timer and a release timer (e.g., a T3540 timer) to release the connection (e.g., to release the N1 NAS signaling connection).

Abstract: A method is provided for completing a registration procedure in a fifth generation (5G) network, comprising transmitting, by a user equipment (UE), a registration request message to the 5G network, the registration request message initiating a first registration procedure, starting, by the UE, a connection release timer in response to occurrence of a plurality of events; meeting, by the UE, at least one of a plurality of conditions; stopping, by the UE, the connection release timer in response to the meeting the at least one of the plurality of conditions; and performing, by the UE, a local release of a signaling connection in response to the meeting the at least one of the plurality of conditions if the UE is in a connected state.

Abstract: A method performed by a User Equipment (UE) for managing a failure in a registration for accessing a network slice, and the UE including processing circuitry configured to perform the method, are provided. The method includes sending a registration request message to a first wireless network while the UE is in a tracking area of a registration area, the registration request message including a Single Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (S-NSSAI) corresponding to the network slice, receiving a registration reject message from the first wireless network indicating that the network slice is unavailable, storing a Tracking Area Identifier (TAI) of the tracking area to a rejected list based on the TAI of the tracking area being included the registration reject message, and establishing a connection with a second wireless network in response to the receiving.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of an AMF controller in a wireless communication system are provided. The method and apparatus include: registering a first SIM based on a first registration request message and registering a second SIM based on a second registration request message which has a GUTI for the first SIM. Further, the method and apparatus include: receiving at least one of downlink data and signaling information for the second SIM when a N1 NAS is in CM-Connected state for the first SIM, and transmitting a NAS message indicating at least one of the downlink data and the signaling information for the second SIM over the N1 NAS connection of the first SIM.

Abstract: A method for connecting to a Registered Public Land Mobile Network (RPLMN) after receiving an accept message with limited service from a user selected CSG cell, which is associated to a different PLMN than the RPLMN during manual CSG selection mode is disclosed. The method includes connecting to the RPLMN based on the availability of the user selected CSG cell in UTRAN. If the user selected CSG cell is not available in UTRAN, then the method includes connecting to the RPLMN by the UE using the stored duplicate value of the RPLMN. If the user selected CSG cell is available in UTRAN, then the method includes sending an ATTACH request to the user selected CSG cell without disabling the EUTRA capabilities. If the ATTACH request is failed, then the method includes connecting to the RPLMN using the stored duplicate value of the RPLMN.
